Episode description

Nasa’s Ingenuity helicopter has had its Wright Brothers moment after it successfully launched off Mars. The test was the tiny helicopter’s baby step towards proving powered flight on another world. Plus, why young people who’ve previously had Covid-19 are to be deliberately re-infected with the virus, Facebook set ‘to launch audio-social products’, two men killed in Tesla, which officials say had no one at the wheel, and the Lord of the Rings MMO is officially cancelled.
